When you appoint a coach he must first be a bloke that has respect in the football community AND be a good bloke. Players and supporters won't put up with a coach - no matter how good he might be - if he isn't a good bloke with strong disciplines. Have a look at their past few coaches. I've watched enough amateur footy matches since coming to the city and the club has had poor leadership in terms of discipline. Secondly, the recruits over the same period haven't been loyal or disciplined. Stay for a year, take the cash and go - this doesn't help players, coaches or supporters yet while those players are there they are treated like "top" players. Except they weren't- in fact most led the charge when you talk about lack of discipline. I hope the club can make the right choice - but just maybe the committee needs to ask for outside help in choosing the next coach - someone who is not connected to the club but knows what is required to make a club improve. The committee hasn't a great record in choosing players or coaches.
Well said Sheeds some excellent points you have raised, hopefully our commitee thinks the same way

In my time there no coach was ever connected to the club prior to their appointment so I don't know where this perception is coming from for eg. Griffo - Pt Districts, Stokes - Gaza ?, OB - Fitzroy, Sods - Westies and that's a span over 10 years. As far as the commitee picking the wrong players and coaches, 9 out 10 finals campaigns in the past 10 season speaks for itself. Players come and go, some more quickly than others, loyalty is just a word and it's all about the coin for alot of players in this modern day football environment. Unfortunately
Yeah and now we're paying the price for it all, Unfortunately

It would be great if Griffo could take the job i would love to play under him, but I don't think it would happen. And Steve Christie? Have you taken a knock to the head FC?, you must be joking right?

How would you know what has been built or not BB? In my opinion our round 1 side this year will be stronger than last years so our FD and coach are doing something right!
